Barack Obama tells 2.6 million Twitter followers he has never tweeted
Telegraph (U.K.) ^ | November 16, 2009 | Malcolm Moore

Posted on 11/16/2009 9:01:21 AM PST by Schnucki

Barack Obama left his 2.6 million fans on Twitter, the social networking website, bemused, disappointed and mildly irritated by admitting on Monday that he had never used the service himself.

"Let me say that I have never used Twitter," he told students in Shanghai. "I noticed that young people are very busy with these electronics. My thumbs are too clumsy to type in things on the phone."

During his election campaign, Mr Obama portrayed himself as "connected" to the people through Twitter and his ever-present blackberry phone.

Some of his more understanding fans asked if it was any real surprise that the president had little time to "tweet". "Did anyone really think he was posting on his own?" asked @Inap.

Others, however, complained that Mr Obama has a "verified account" which is supposed to prove that it is his own. "Unfollowing @BarackObama now. What a letdown!" wrote @bkuri.

Someday Obama’s groupies will figure out that honesty is not their idol’s strong suit.

Very disappointing. I thought that Al Gore invented the internet and Barry Hussein Soetero invented Twitter.

Obama uses his Blackberry for reading his instructions. He has no reason to use it as an output device. The people at the other end don’t care what he thinks.

We already know he’s a liar. Now we know he’s also a TWIT.

EVERYTHING about obama is a lie. We know Palin does her own Tweets

Yes, the media attacked Sarah Palin for using twitter saying it was undignified and that she should be going through proper channels in the media (the same partisan press that hounded her non-stop during the 2008 campaign and continues to smear her and those in her family).

Reminds me of Jimmy Carter’s empty garment bag he liked to carry off of AF-1.

Remember when this very thing was the reason John McCain was considered too *out of touch* to be president? Hmmm ...

Anyone who thought Obama was actually entering these "tweets" himself is an idiot.

And anyone who thought Obama ever told a truth is seriously mentally ill.

the double standard is sickening. Palin (campaign) spend $150k on clothing yet we know nothing about OBama/Biden. Theres no curiousity at all. Maybe they spend $150k+ as well, but they get no criticism at all
